[Rhodes22-list] cross over stays

[Gary Lockhart]

My '79 Rhodes Continental has a conventional mast and is raised with the boat on the trailer using the winch, extender pole and pulley to lift the mast from the stern. I am usually short handed to launch and retrieve. While searching the the archive saw a reference from Stan about to using cross over stays to stabilize the mast during raising. I have been all over the archive and can not find any additional info about cross over stays.
